Instructions and Technical Data for Bora-Care 700 - ConServ Epoxy ...

These types of foam should be injected, as well as surface sprayed, to achieve proper control or
prevention of infestations.
V. PREVENTATIVE AND/OR PRETREATMENT FOR WHOLE HOUSE PROTECTION FROM
SUBTERRANEAN, FORMOSAN, DRYWOOD AND DAMPWOOD TERMITES, CARPENTER
ANTS, OLD HOUSE BORERS, POWDERPOST AND OTHER WOOD BORING BEETLES AND
WOOD DECAY FUNGI
NOTE: This treatment serves as a primary treatment for the control of Formosan and
subterranean termites.
Pretreatment should be performed at a point during the construction process when the
greatest access to all wood members is available. Normally this is at the "dried-in" stage of
construction when all structural wood and sheathing is in place, yet prior to installation of
insulation, mechanical systems, electrical wiring, etc.
Apply one (1) coat of a one (1) gallon water to one (1) gallon BORA-CARE® (1:1) solution to
all wood surfaces to the point of wetness. Concentrate application in areas susceptible to attack,
to include all sills, plates, floor joists, piers, girders and subfloors. Treat wood in all plumbing,
electrical, and ductwork areas where they penetrate walls or floors. Treat all base plates and studs
on interior and exterior walls, especially those surrounding any high moisture areas such as
bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms. For buildings built on slabs, treat all wood in contact with
the slab as well as all interior and exterior wall studs and wall sheathing material. In attics, treat all
wood including ceiling joists, trusses, top plates, rafters and roof decking. Be sure that all sill
plates and wood contacting garages and porches are treated.
In areas where access is limited to one (1) or two (2) sides of a wood member, apply two
(2) coats of BORA-CARE® solution to the exposed surfaces. Wait at least 20 minutes between
applications.
Treat all exterior wood including siding, fascias, soffits, eaves, roofing, porches, decks and
railings (refer to Sections VIll and IX for complete exterior application information).
VI. PREVENTATIVE AND PRETREATMENTS FOR SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES (CRAWL
SPACE, BASEMENT AND SLAB)
NOTE: This treatment serves as a primary treatment for the control of subterranean
termites.
Use only a one (1) part water to one (1) part BORA-CARE® (1:1) solution when treating for
subterranean termites.
Pretreatment may be performed at any point during the construction process, however it is
best performed when greatest access to all wood members is available. Normally this is at the
"dried-in" stage of construction when all structural wood and sheathing is in place, yet prior to
installation of insulation, mechanical systems, electrical wiring, etc.
A. Buildings on Crawl Spaces and Basements: Apply one (1) coat of a one (1) gallon water to
one (1) gallon BORA-CARE® (1:1) solution to point of wetness in a 24-inch wide uninterrupted
band to all wood surfaces in crawl spaces and basements, to include all sills, plates, floor joists,
piers, girders and subfloors as well as wood exposed to vertical access from the soil. Treat all wall
base plates and the bottom two (2) feet of all interior and exterior wall studs. Treat any wood
adjacent to plumbing, electrical conduit and ducts where they penetrate subfloors or plates, and all
wood next to porches, garages, and fireplaces in order to provide a two (2) foot wide barrier of
BORA-CARE® treatment against termite penetration.
On wood where access is limited to one (1) or two (2) sides of wood members such as sills
and plates on foundation walls, apply two (2) coats of BORA-CARE® solution. Wait at least 20
